Teresa, has been making jewellery for about 20 plus years and is an expert with techniques used in this art form. On completion of this course students will be capable of designing and producing jewellery using the various techniques learned. Beading requires a minimum amount of tools.

The morning will be spent covering a basic bead stringing exercise to produce a beautiful natural stone necklace. The fastenings used will be crimp and a calotte clasp. A lovely and vibrant bracelet will then be produced using a bead knotting technique.

After lunch, time will be spent learning how to use wire to attach beads together or as suspended elements. The course will end with full instruction on how to knot a fresh water pearl necklace, finishing with gimp ends and silver fittings.

For £35.00 Teresa will provide all the necessary beads, thread and findings to complete the items detailed on this course (payable on the day to Teresa). Should you wish to provide some or all of your beads, clasps etc. then the materials charge will be adjusted as necessary.

This course will give you an insight into some of the various techniques required for beading from which there is unlimited scope to produce designs from your own imagination with the skills you have been taught.
